Coalescing out of nothing
But the ashes of tears
From the wayward son
Ostracized over years.
Denounced in his worth
As the gods watched and sighed.
“Tis not the end to our chosen!”
And the Phoenix flared to life.

I was sitting at the computer last night and asked my wife to give me one word, so I could write something. She said, Phoenix… Ha

You Know Kevin, I think this one is probably the one that will stick with me and inspire me into the future! It has a lot of relevance to me in my life. Very easy to relate to. I’ve been burned and risen again many times in my life. I wonder where you summoned the inspiration for it? The picture is very familiar! I’m sure I’ve seen it before. It is eerily similar to my Tattoo…. Although I had it done many years ago, so I’m sure it was a different picture…

Thanks RJ! I never know what my words will be until I’m finished, but I will get one word or sentence in my head and just go with it wherever it leads. This was one such poem! 😳😁👍
